Relampago. Posted May 24 Posted May 24 2 hours ago, family.guy123 said: Ok so a few things: No, I've never been on 4chan. I've read through the article and have a few questions: - the 39% of new infections coming from "the rest of the population" as quoted in that article. How many infections does this represent? And how big is "the rest of the population"? I have looked at the article he cited (https://www.unaids.org/sites/default/files/media_asset/Get-on-the-Fast-Track_en.pdf) and I can't find this information. More on that point, 27% + 39 % = 66%. Where's other 24 % infections coming from? Are those groups banned? What's their population size? Obviously a monogamous gay man has less risk than sexually active straight person. But the amount of monogamous gay men is absolutely minuscule compared to the amount of sexually active straight people. It's about balancing risk while maintaining a sufficient blood supply. How is it dangerous? and my original comment was directed at North American blood donors. Don't think I mentioned that, if it makes a difference Because you're saying that by banning MSM, there is inherently something safer when this needs to be handled on a case by case basis. A blanket ban is a lazy solution that doesn't resolve the problem you're trying to solve. Heterosexual people are now becoming more and more at risk of HIV than homosexual people. Blood donor organizations cannot rely on a blanket ban on MSM to reduce risk when MSM are becoming less and less of the newly infected HIV population. Thus, the solution is pointless and lazy and only prevents more donors from donating, even if it is only 1% (couldn't find anything to back up this claim you made though). At that point it's beyond just being discriminatory to be discriminatory, it's also putting the lives of blood donation recipients at risk to assume that heterosexual blood is safer in this day and age. It's far more safe to handle everything on a case by case basis, in which case a blanket ban on MSM is pointless and moot. 1
Just a Gay on ATRL Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Grindr has had a net negative impact on the gay community and has encouraged and enabled superficial and empty connections. There are exceptions but by and large I think that app is toxic. On a more general level, the gay community will eventually need to have a conversation about making more meaningful connections and not just promoting physical features/hook-ups all the time. I'm not here for shaming people who just want to have sex, they have a right to seek this out, BUT at the same time when that is the majority of the community nowadays (which it is, from my perspective), it makes gay dating so incredibly difficult. I guess I envision a future that is hopefully a little more balanced on the dating seriously vs hook-ups ratio. 3 2

CottageHore Posted May 24 Posted May 24 A lot of us (myself included years ago) are incredibly emotionally immature and lack identity because we spent our formative developmental years being forced to suppress our true identity in place of people pleasing just to survive and gain the approval of the people who mean the most to us. As a result, we cope by over-sexualizing ourselves and brag about how many people we've ****** and bring sex into every conversation because we feel our worth is defined by how we match up with other gay men and whether people have the desire to be intimate with us when in reality most of us would be much happier if we didn't fixate so much on hooking up with people who don't care about us and prioritized our many others unique traits, skills, and talents. Most gays who talk a big game sexually haven't actually done much sexually at all. It's all a competition and we all secretly feel like we're losing and if we're not losing, we're usually miserable deep down and secretly seek something much deeper out of life but there's a very insidious part of us that still believes we don't deserve true love, true happiness, and we have few good examples of gay relationships in the media and this makes it even harder for us to know our role in relationships and to understand who we are. 4

goverm3nth0ker Posted June 2 Posted June 2 it's 2024 and there's still conversation about love and sexual position, like why can't we all be just vers
Cleanromantic Posted June 3 Posted June 3 this is why I'm happily never engaging with gay "culture" 1
Puma Posted June 3 Posted June 3 (edited) Sexual orientation might be learned, not innate, and that's okay. This was something I would sometimes think of during my teenage years and now that I study behavioural psychology I've come across interesting views around the topic. Hegemonic lgbt activism is very anti scientific honestly, it's sad Edited June 3 by Puma
